The cup holder/phone holder is good in concept, BUT as someone who has already had a phone “jump” out of a cup holder and get run over by his flail mower I can tell you I never would put MY phone in something like that which allows such bouncing around! That tool box holder would be a nice ROPS addition for my 3E series since the “toolbox” from JD is a joke - that is where my phone gets stored along with a pair of gloves. Also - high praises for those Thunder wheels; they are great.
Loving the fade to colour. Some good looking accessories. For the squarer tube mirror mounting brackets, I would have to agree. Stop making a left and right bracket and make just a single one.
Like the idea ! -- also liked "foglebr" idea of top 2" top receiver. A person could use a vehicle receiver hitch platform / shelf as an overhead work platform, either in lower or higher hitch mount (weld a few pipe stubs at corner of plateform / shelf to make pipe railing mounts). Useful in field work.
Pop can, how Michigan ? I was born in Detroit and moved as a youngster. Soda here in Missouri. Took awhile before we knew what they were talking about. More great content. Thanks !
I used a two of the big round magnets to mount a small light bar on the roll bar. It sometimes falls off. For your idea you'll need some VERY strong magnets, but it'd be better to find a way to bolt on
I did the same thing with the lights and magnets on the role bar. Works great untill I catch a tree limb. But if I do knick them off it doesn't break anything. Good thing that way.
Like the mirror bracket. Would be very helpful to have a lead on the appropriate sized magnet to use (otherwise finding the right magnet might be a time suck while the bracket sits in its box on a shelf - somewhere…).
Yep, looks good. I'd say yes keep developing add on's/widgets. It's been my life expierence that "Those Guys" enjoy the Journey more than the reward..... great place to be. Looking forward to new designs.
Thanks for the new product review, I tried to find tractor cupholders a year ago and the only one I could find was inferior to that design. Maybe consider another hole on your bracket up near the first curve , to hang something on in the future, I would probably like the bracket for more than just the mirror. I hope you saw the S and B shifter comment on the mini video 👍
Enjoyed the video. I love seeing new products and product ideas in the works. Always looking for ways to make life on the tractor more enjoyable. Thanks 👍
@@GoodWorksTractors I would not put that last 90 degree bend in it and just run the magnet the same place the hole would be and go all out on a big rare earth magnet.
Interesting products! You gave me some good ideas to build some mods for the M5660. I've been wanting to put mirrors on it but Kubota loaders aren't full of holes like the JD's are so options are limited.
I don't see how a single 5/16" hole is the loader is going to make a difference as long as you touch up the paint so it doesn't rust. A lot of the guys buying those little tractors are older/not in the best shape so a taller grab bar would be a welcomed addition. My 80 y/o father uses the steering wheel for leverage getting in his NH Boomer 40, which can't be good for it. I have limited use of my right side, but have no problem using the fender bar and FEL mount of my YT347 currently, but am sure I'll need/want something like that before too long. Over 24 years of compensating for the right's deficiencies is taking its toll on my left side.
I wouldn't mount the mirrors on the loader arms..they will always move when you move the loader. I do like the mirror extenders , especially the height difference, but would like to see the bigger mirrors you sell able to attach to them instead of those smaller mirrors. I've tried the smaller mirrors and much prefer the big ones. I'd like to see the chain saw holder in person and try to determine where it would go or if it would interfere with anything specifically on my machine. But overall good stuff..Keep it coming.
I have a 4 series JD and no easy way to mount a tool box is one of my peeves. By the way, my loader has the holes on the top of the frame like the smaller tractors.
I can't think a mirror mounted on a loader arm that will be going up and down would be particularly useful. But if you put a 90° twist on it, it could be attached to the loader bracket (just above where you have the sawhaul) on most any brand tractor
Big problem I have is the ability to see the lineup on my forks. The tips are hidden by the rack; the camera would be a big help! Any storage on my 1025R would be a big help!
I put mirrors on my 1025r after a watched one of your video's. Darn thing vibrate so bad kind if hard yo see what i am looking at. Do yours vibrate that bad or is my tractor messed up?
I'm not convinced that magnetically mounting the mirrors that way is going to work well. Even with a larger magnet, you've got a lot of leverage with the length of the bracket, and I think it's going to be a little too easy to knock them loose if you're operating in close quarters. Something to be aware of with strong magnetic mounts is they can cause paint damage and rust rings over time, particularly if the mount get moved. If you keep everything clean it's not an issue, it's just something to be aware of.
@@GoodWorksTractors yes and no If I was concerned about them being bent or broken then a springed release upon pressure would be the way to go. Like car mirrors today.
@@GoodWorksTractorsThat would depend on how frequently it happens. Breaking loose on immovable objects is good, but every small branch would be annoying. And then you'd probably want a tether so they don't fall under the wheel and get run over.
@@GoodWorksTractors you have a point with that for sure. Still on the expensive side but I understand with him not being some mass producing company. I'm sure the quality is outstanding.
@@GoodWorksTractors I wish I did. I have been so disappointed by magnets for mounting things over the years that I just don’t see it being substantial enough for this application. I am pretty good with tools so drilling and tapping are easy for me. However, I too like to use preexisting holes and bolts to attach items. Just don’t think magnets will keep the mirrors on. If you really want to give magnets a try I would use two or three of them to add more stability.
For drinks, since tractors are such a "smooth ride" I use a boat bottle holder. It pivots on a swivel and does not spill your drink.

Maybe you are driving way to fast if you had your phone jump out of the cup holder
Good stuff, always appreciated!
110%
I think a velcro strap would helpthe phone stay in place.
You need a ram mount xl for your phone
I don't even own a tractor and I still enjoy your videos.
I like that magnetic clamp. I run my works skid steers and that would be awesome to put a mirror on it when loading on a trailer
I'm always in the Christmas spirit with red tractors and green equipment!
Your prototype mirror bracket design could be a game changer! Your willingness to share other inventors prototypes on your channel, very classy!
Loving the fade to colour.

I have an EZ Wheel on my 1025R. Works great.
I’d like to add mirrors on my 1025R. Waiting to see if I get them for Christmas 😀
🤞
All those accessories look very interesting, like the chain saw holder very much.

Thanks for watching!
Roll bar camera definitely interesting
If you mount the mirror with a magnet like you had it the mirror angle will change every time you move the loader. Needs to be on the stationary part.
Open to other ideas???

the taller brackets would be good when the loader is off. when snowblower is on front.

Mount the cup holder to the magnetic bracket.
Yeah thought about that…probably need to extend that bottom flat area a little more

Perhaps knocking them loose is better than staying in position and bending or breaking?

I've hit mine and they just fold back, didn't come off.
I bought some off Temu for around $11 and they have had no issues, the magnets are very strong.
like them all but need for Kubota bx
Message received!
Make the mirror bracket telescoping. Put a ball and socket on the phone caddie.
I was close to purchasing that ez wheel but it cost as much as a hydraulic top link.
Except you don’t need to add extra hydraulics on your tractor, so actually substantially cheaper
@@GoodWorksTractors you have a point with that for sure. Still on the expensive side but I understand with him not being some mass producing company. I'm sure the quality is outstanding.
What’s up with the snow pusher giveaway? Did I miss it?
Coming soon!
If it is attached to the loader arm with a magnet then t will be constantly moving when you use the loader.
Hole in loader mount is for grease fitting access. So just don’t grease it EH ?
😎

Not a fan of the magnetic mount as I know it will get knocked off as you use your tractor in treed areas-just saying.
It’s an option for folks that don’t have a mounting hole and don’t want to drill into their loaders. Do you have a better suggestion?
@@GoodWorksTractors I wish I did. I have been so disappointed by magnets for mounting things over the years that I just don’t see it being substantial enough for this application.
